Moorside Legal Services Reviews 

Scammers despicable people praying on the vulnerable!

Nothing but a scamming cowboy outfit...abd I'm guessing all the 5 star reviews on here are false!!!

This company are associated with some of the despicable private car parking companies that are, incredibly, permitted to operate in the UK.

They persistently send out scrounging letters, which amounts to harassment, especially when there is nothing owed, but their letters are written to imply that there is. This is a clear attempt to bully vulnerable people.

If they *believe* there is a debt, they should, after one letter (bearing in mind their associates have already sent several), either drop the matter or issue proceedings.

They are, incredibly, registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority. If they harass you, it's worth putting a complaint in, even though it will probably be pointless. If they are still allowed to operate now, it shows that nothing has been done about it so far.

They really are a despicable set of characters, pay them nothing *unless* they win at court, they depend on vulnerable people capitulating easily.

The fact this situation even exists shows the state of the UK.

I was advised by CAB to phone this company about a PCN and explain about why I had appealed and it was turned down within the hour. I hv received a letter with no details of where I was parked or for how long etc, just asking me to pay £170 or set up 4 installments. I am a 74yr old pensioner and unpaid carer for my invalid daughter and her ADHD son and dyslexic daughter. Although she has a disabled badge and I hv a registered carer badge, there are no allocated spaces or anywhere for me to pick her or her children up or stop for even 5 mins. This company was extremely unsympathetic and rude. The girl kept cutting in and just asking for payment. I kept saying I thought u were advertised that u wud be empathetic if discussed on a phone call, but this definitely was not the case. She tried to say she wud set up a payment scheme of 4 payments over 4 months. I explained that I hv to subsidise my daughter and my mentally ill brother, soon my pension, I wud not be able to afford this and I said that I shouldn't be pressured into doing anything until I hv had an appt with CAB and received advice etc. This company is a disgrace, DO NOT think they will help or amicably come to an understanding and an agreement with u

I have been receiving non-stop nuisance robo calls from them for months. Daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I've gotten in touch with them multiple times so they can identify what their order of business is and provided both email and addresses for them to communicate but the calls won't stop and I have yet to receive any meaningful correspondence from them.

Utter joke. I’m being chased for a PCN from 3 years ago - I have 7 days to cough up, yet they can take 28 days to respond to an email. Completely ignored my SAR and cannot supply the information requested. So far all I have received is my car driving in and out. Bunch of money grabbing people

They make up their own rules with several attempts to bully and con money they are unable to justify or substantiate.

They fail to provide any substantive evidence in support of their caims hopefull of a windfall. Anyone receiving an invoice or demands for payments from Moreside Legal should refrain from responding or paying and challenge their bogus request when you receive a letter of claim.

If only we coud give them a minus score, glad to provide this honest feedback.

Worst legal company on the planet. If I could give them 0 stars I would. Avoid at all costs.

No matter how ridiculous a private parking company's claim is, these lot will stick with it and send plenty of letters chasing the money, which has been denied.. they will start court proceedings then will drop off last minute. This is ridiculous and this needs to be better regulated.

Guys make sure when you get a call from these guys and go through Data Protection you DO NOT give your address, the reason you do not give your address is for your data protection. They try and tell you that they need your address for there data protection. They will soon leave you alone if you follow this simple instruction. Thank me later

Always go to court. These cowboys tried chasing me for £330 and were so desperate for the cash they even said I could pay £10 a month for 33 months!

Didn't even get to a hearing. Once claim was issued, I put all evidence in as my defence and then miraculously they discontinued the claim.

Don't be bullied. Don't give in.

Misleading firm
This firm tried to mislead me by saying my defence wasn't valid as I got expert help from a well known forum.
Yet the judge disagreed and struck out the case and I got costs
Never be bullied by any parking firm or firms acting on their behalf

This firm just basically misleads people and then they get spanked in court. Never give in to them. Very beatable . They don't like people getting help from forums
They think they can do what they want. They can't

Sent me a court letter to chase a parking ticket, which I was still in the car and the pictures clearly show I was still in the car.

Scammers, how about you all go get a real job instead of robbing the country?

Threatening, unprofessional letters for a cowboy private parking firm that's scamming drivers in a retail unit car park. If that's the kind of client they take on I wouldn't trust them for anything legitimate

I had a letter from this firm and they lie to you!
They are not open about to deal with parking tickets
They try and recover fake debt recovery fees
Appalling firm

Worst of the worse. Cowboys who try to bully and intimidate innocent people on behalf of car park owners.

Countless threatening letters and bullying tactics. No idea why anyone would choose to use this firm or work there

Tried to sue me on behalf of an unregulated private parking company. They wasted everybody's time as the claim was discontinued, probably because they knew they didn't have a leg to stand on. They rely on the publics gullibility about litigation in the hope that they will capitulate once litigation starts. They come across as poorly trained wannabe legal reps.

Don't believe there scam fight back on any parking charge notices if they threaten to take you to county court, complete amateurs.

Moorside legal like to bully defendants in a style which is copied directly from BW Legal. This is both misleading and untrue. Courts do not entertain this sort of behaviour and they don't mind people getting help from forums. Moorside legal should know better then to act as bullies in threatening unreasonable costs(they don't seem to understand using Internet forums does not constitute unreasonable behaviour)

The below is what moorside legal sent in response to my defence

I am happy and proud to use MSE forum.

"we are familiar with these types of defences which we know are templates produced from internet forums.

such templates bear no relevance and rarely seek to resolve the dispute just frustrate the matter and waste time.

for that reason we do not intend to respond substantively to correspondence like this. We invite you to properly address the matter at hand and if you do not believe the debt it owed, explain why.

Correspondence of this type does not assist with narrowing the dispute and any time spent responding is disproportionate to the matter.

if you continue to send correspondence of the same nature that is clearly not your own words, we will consider this to be unreasonable behaviour. We will raise your unreasonable conduct at court, if a claim is issued, to submit you should be liable for our clients cost.”
